![]() (This is a GREAT text for the Compare/Contrast text structure.) ![]() Once I have modeled using the text structure (many times) to summarize the text, I like to play a little game with readers I call, Pick the Best Summary, to start the process of turning the summarizing over to them. Below is an example I used with Why is a Frog Not a Toad? by Q.L. For example, when summarizing the section that compares whales and sharks, make sure you include information in your summarization about how they are same and how they are different. Say things like,ĭid you hear that when I summarized the text, I included both similarities and differences? If I had just shared the differences in my summary, I would have left out important information that the author wanted me to understand…that whales and sharks are similar AND different. It is vitally important that kids hear you summarize. This is not as easy for many readers as one may think!

I will also share another pack of FREE graphic organizers for time/sequence structure, compare/contrast structure, and descriptive/list structure. Today, I want to spend a little more time with non-fiction, as I share another important step of teaching text structure.
